In a job ad posted to the Whirlpool broadband forum, Eltridge talked up Telstra as "the single most important" company in Australia and "that is why I joined".

"We are leaders in technology. Our programs are on a much larger scale than most, using cutting edge technology," he wrote. "Join IT at Telstra and you will have exposure to some of the most exciting initiatives in the IT industry such as cloud and virtualisation, not to mention one of the most ambitious adoptions of agile practises [sic] in any organisation."

To facilitate these Agile practices, Eltridge is looking for experienced Agile process coaches as part of a large-scale change program.

Agile coaches at Telstra are responsible for providing Agile guidance, education and team facilitation to build sustainable capability across the whole IT team and advance "delivery excellence" goals.
